Messi to Attend Asturias Awards and Remain Available for Miami Match

Inter Miami coach Kily González said Messi would attend the Asturias ceremony in Oviedo and remain available for the October 24 match against Red Bull New York, though playing is not guaranteed. Coverage conflicts on the ceremony date: October 23 in coach-based reporting versus October 22 in a newer article; González wants Messi positioned higher within a balanced team structure. Undated Atlanta lineup coverage says Messi traveled and was expected to play, while another item calls him a confirmed starter, so treat that match status cautiously.
